In his five starts, the Tigers have scored a grand total of nine runs, even as he sports a 1.84 ERA and 1.125 WHIP this season. After racking up 111 pitches Wednesday, Fister appears poised to put up a quality start every time out.","date":"Wed May 23"},"fullName":"Doug Fister","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Acquired by Detroit at the July 31 trade deadline last season, Fister channeled Doyle Alexander and went an amazing 8-1 with a 1.79 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in 10 starts as a Tiger. In that span, he walked a scant five while fanning a modest 57 in 70 1/3 frames. Prior to the two-month run to end last season, Fister's K/9 was a pedestrian 5.2, though his BB/9 was an exceptional 1.9. His career strikeout rate rose to 5.5 while his walks dropped to 1.7. These are more reasonable expectations than a repeat of the 7.3 K/9 and 0.6 BB/9 he spun during his white-hot August and September. Being around the plate, Fister is going to give up a ton of hits, which is OK assuming he continues to be extremely frugal with the free passes and keeps the ball in the yard. To that end, Fister generates a lot of grounders and while no Safeco Field, Comerica Park is not a hitters' haven so Fister should fare well in that regard. The lack of strikeouts tempers Fister's value, but his low walk and strikeout rates will keep his ERA and WHIP in check and keep him in ample games to rack up plenty of wins.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":1.2,"playerRater15DAY":0.9,"positionRank":96}
